President Donald Trump will sign a directive in the coming days raising his global tariff to 15% “where appropriate” and is seeking “continuity” with nations that struck trade deals, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said.

“So right now, as we talked about, 10% is in place. There will be a proclamation raising it to 15% where appropriate,” Greer said Wednesday on Bloomberg Television’s Surveillance program.
